I have heard that 10 Tevet may be associated with the holiday widely celebrated on 25 December (of course, it was more of a callamity for the Jewish people).

Considering the accuracy of our (and their) typical calendar calculations, 6 Tevet is as likely a date as any.

  • Just to clarify, R'Jeremy: You have no reason to think the sixth of Teves is the date on which Jesus was born: you're merely saying it's as likely a date as any other on the calendar? In other words, this answer is, as far as you know, as appropriate for any "History of [date]" question as it is for this one?

  • well, not just as likely. I assume that 6 Teves never coincides with July 4, but does occasionally coincide with Dec 25. I really should have saide "6 Teves is as likely as any other overlapping date"
